I'm kind of pissed. I had this big long spiel typed in here and it was utterly epic, I hit 'post', and it was gone. of course, it didn't autosave or whatever, either, because life sucks for me. so I'll make it shorter this time because I don't feel like writing it all again.

I'm thinking of dropping lydia. it's not that I don't like her, because I do, it's that I don't use her. so if y'all want lydia to stay around, you need to give her some action-- which now makes me think of lydia having sex which would be awkward for everyone. you saw her drunk. sex would be worse.

as I was pondering what life without ms. baum would be like, I figured for a moment that I would only have three characters. says I, "three characters is perfect in november! you have a book to write, after all!" I them promptly shot this side of me in the face with a cow tranquilizer and threw it in a closet.

what this means, in a nutshell, is that if I get rid of lydia, I'm picking someone else up. It's inertia or gravity or something. chela can't have less than four characters or she'll explode. and you don't want chela on the walls, do you? blood is awfully messy and I'm afraid some vampires might come and that will just mess everyone up. so don't let me explode.

I have a list of a few that I've considered, but I really don't know which one I want. Any characters in particular you ladies are looking for? I'm thinking: upton sinclair (black, for jessi. haha), sinclair lewis, t.h. white (a sadist, because he would have plenty of friends in the springs haha), c.s. forester (army kid, but nothing like markie. we don't need another markie. xD), agatha christie... I think that's it. anyone else?

so. comments, questions, queries? also, I realise that 'queries' and 'questions' is pretty much the same thing but they sound good together so stfu.
